Our medical call center is a semi-open office space for half of the building’s second floor. It has 90 sqft of individual cubicles, all at the south-facing glass wall of the front facade. Employees have seating/standing workstations with ergonomic high-back office chairs, double large computer screens, and phones with state-of-the-art noise-canceling headsets.
